Fire Protection for the Power Generation Industry

Power generation facilities… whether hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil fuel… all represent significant and varied fire hazards, from both the fuel and the rotating machinery. Fire also poses a significant business risk in the industry, not only because power plants are a major capital investment, but also because downtime can have serious repercussions for those who depend on an uninterrupted supply of electricity. Kidde Fire Systems has a complete range of fire protection products to protect everything from the largest coal-fire plant, to the smallest compartmentalized gas turbines.

Kidde Fire Systems offers a unique approach to fire protection—total system solutions. With this approach in mind, we have established a total fire protection package ideal for Turbine Generators. Listed below are UL Listed Detection, Suppression and Control Systems most commonly used for this type of application.
